Everyone always complains about this game's difficulty but I weirdly didn't have that much of a problem with it. Maybe it's because it's been nearly half a decade since I played the Mother games, but I have more negative memories in the Fourside Department Store and Peaceful Rest Valley from EarthBound than anything in this game. The only really bad area that stuck out to me was the path to Snowman, which isn't that long anyway. There's still a lot of charm to this game despite being an 80s NES game, and it's probably my favorite on the console.
